APPAREL-SHIRT.

Application filed-Apri127. 1915.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Tomas L. RUBINSTEIN, a citizen of the United States.andresident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Apparel- Shirts, of which the following is aspecification containing a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in apparel shirts, and isespecially directed to the type of shirt having attached short sleevesand detachable long sleeves.

The object of my invention is to provide a shirt with short or halflength sleeves attached and a button at the apex of the yoke, at eachshort sleeve top, and a full length sleeve, to be slipped over the halflength sleeve, having at its top a buttonhole whereby it may bedetachably secured to the shirt and an adjustable attaching meanscomprising a tab, having a plurality of buttonholes throughout itslength and abutton. The tab end has the button secured to it and the tabsecured to the full length over the buttonhole in the full lengthsleeve, whereby the tab and button may-be readily removed in case thefull length sleeve is of the right length and the sleeve still havemeans wherebv it may be detaehabl y secured to the shirt. The tab andbutton provide means for varying the sleeve length where necessary.

With the above object in view, my inven tion consists in certain novelfeatures of the construction and arrangement. of parts hereinafter fullydescribed, pointed out specifi cally in my claim and illustrated by thea1 4 companying drawings. in which:

Figure. 1 is a perspective of a shirt constructed according to myinvention. one full length sleeve being removed; Fig. 9 is a fragmental,longitudinal, sectional elevation of a full length sleeve and theattaching tab and button; and Fig. 3 is a fragmental, inside face viewof the full lengthsleeve, shou ing the attaching tab and button.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings: 5 designates theshirt, having the attached half length sleeves 6 and the permanentlysecured buttons 7 at points at the apices of the shirt yoke 8, or atpoints ad Specification of Letters Patent.

jacent the outer ends of the yokes and at their transverse centers.

The numeral 9 designates a fiill length sleeve having adjacent its top abutton hole 10, and secured by stitching to the sleeve 9 over thebuttonhole 10 is a tab 11. which tab has secured thereto at its attachedend a button 12 and throughout its length there are the buttonholes 13.In use this tab serves to provide an adjustable and detachableconnection between the shirt an'dfull length sleeve. And this adjustmentis possible without exposing more of the tab than is necessary to theproper sleeve length.

The tab is always secured to the shirt by means of its outermostbuttonhole and the button on the shirt, and hence there is no tab endbeyond the button on the shirt, that may be folded over upon itself andform an un comfortable hulk under a coat or vest and the same is true atthe sleeve end, where if there is any ad ustment ot tag length requiredit is accomplished under the sleeve and the ad- 'justed end of the tabsecured to the sleeve by first stitching and then by a button andbuttonhole. v

In some cases no sleeve length adjustm nt is necessary and hence thesleeve is provided with a buttonhole in addition to the tab, which maybe readily removed by cutting the threads, which secure it to thesleeve;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States therefor. is
